I know it's late in coming, but DAMN you George Lucas!! DAMN YOU! You've already ruined your Star Wars franchise by giving us 3 prequils that have no plot, no characters, no chemistry, no quality acting, and no appeal for anyone older than 13!!!

Why should we think your dislike of the Indy IV script is for the best of the film!?! Personally, I think the script is probably a brilliant piece of work that you think needs cheesing up for the kiddies who will buy your precious action figures!! DAMN YOU, Lucas, don't ruin Indy too!

Cool down bub. I agree the last two Star Wars films really stank but Lucas is still an imaganative guy. The fact that he delayed the film really isn't that horrible. I know that Ford ain't getten any younger, but you must remember Lucas was the man who invented Indiana Jones and if he thinks they need a new script he's probably right.

THANK YOU HOVITOS KING! And no one needs to cool down here. you are absolutely, right, King of my Heart (can I call ya that?). The appropriate word for Mucus Lucas is unfortunately, not approptriate for this board. It rhymes with sock plucker.

Ok, Lucas does suck, but he didn't always suck, and sometimes even now he doesn't suck, but he normally does suck, but I don't think you should all loose your temper.
I think that's the most times I've ever used the word suck!

The day that "Action figure" sales, by a multimillionaire, would triumph over art..............well, that's the day I'll just lose faith in Art itself, and go live on an island somewhere and just 'forget about it'.

"Kate, our island awaits us," Monkey says as he offers his simian hand to the lovely woman.

Behind them, the Pan Am Clipper sits next to the pier while its four, powerful, radial-cyclone engines warm up; preparing to whisk the two young dreamers off to the mysterious Island of Lost Artistic Idealism.

That's really funny. Just last night, (after Finn insulted my wig) I curled up up with my Jeffy Tracy doll and I noticed my cat had chewed off the ear, Picasso style.

I'm goona miss your humor Monkey, and your beauty Kate.

Get a grip, will you?!

Stop dissing Lucas.
When he made the first Star Wars movies and brought us Indy; you all worshiped him..
Now; he made two prequels that don't really live up to our expectations; you all can't wait to bury him?
Shame on you.

And in case you lost all faith... just remember; this is not only the project of Lucas. Spielberg and Ford are in it, too.

*glad I got that off my chest...*

Ren is right.

I think that what people need to realize is that Lucas can only devote himself to one project at a time. Would there really be any point for him to try and juggle his time between Episode III and Indy IV? I think that if he did we would all lose out in the end. There is alot of high expectations for both Episode III and Indy IV. In order for Mr. Lucas to keep both SW and Indy fans happy he needs to finish Episode III before starting Indy IV. I'm sure the end result will be great.

I hope to God it will be- if Indy IV sucks, I'll be bitterly disappointed. If Episode 3 sucks, I will not be surprised. In fact, I'd be MORE surprised if it was good!

An excellent point, love.

Yes, some crap like that. Georgie Porgy is one of the most spoiled, arrogant, and narcissistic people in the movie business. You need only look at the self-satisfied grin on his face to know it. He thinks only of himself, not his fans, and is terrible director. He lets his actors do whatever they will and the end result is humiliating tripe (Think of the scene in Episode 2 where Hayden Christensen hits on Natalie Portman in front of the fireplace. Painful, painful- kill me now!). Temple of John, I too was in your shoes- a little girl all dressed up in my Princess Leia costume on Halloween night, a plastic orange treat bucket in my hand. But Lucas betrayed us, the arrogant pig! Temple and HovitosKing (AKA king of my heart), shall we start a Betrayed by Lucas support group?

So are you saying that if Jones4 is no good than ROTLA, TOD and LC will no longer be good movies?

I don't think so. I like the first three "Star Wars" movies now regardless of what Lucas has done and will do with episodes I, II, and III. Even if Indy 4 sucks, the original three will still rock. All we're saying is that we hope to hell it doesn't.
